YOU'RE THE
BOSS
The first one copies a disk file. You should, at this
point, have a program file stored in the disk in
drive named "NEW/NAM." Make a COPY
of
it.
Type:
COPY "NEW/NAM:0" TO "NEW/NAM:
1"
(ENTER).
If you want, you can rename the file when
you
copy it. For instance,
COPY
"
NEW/NAM :
1"
TO
"ANOTHER/NAM
:0"
(ENTER) copies "NEW/NAM"
from the disk in drive 1 to the file "ANOTHER/
NAM" on the disk in drive 0.
The second command changes the drive number
the Computer
goes
to if you
do
not specify
one.
Up
to now, this has been drive 0. For example, by typ-
ing
SAOE "ANYTHING/EX"
(ENTER), the Computer
will assume you want to use drive 0. It will then
SAVE this program on the disk in drive 0.
To change this
assumption,
you
can
type:
DRIVE
1
CENTER)
This makes the
Computer
assume you want it to
use DRIVE
1,
unless
you
tell
it otherwise.
After changing
this DRIVE
assumption, the Com-
puter will
respond differently
to the same com-
mand. By
typing
SAUE "ANYTHING/EX"
(ENTER)
,
the
Computer will store "ANYTHING/EX"
on the
disk
in drive
1. You would
now need to type SAVE
"ANYTHING/EX :
0"
(ENTER]
to SAVE it
in drive
0.
CHAPTER CHECKPOINT
1. How
do
you rename
a
file? Why do you
have
to specify the file's extension?
2. What can you do
when
you
think
you're
running
out
of
disk
space?
3.
If
you
have more
than
one
disk drive and
do
not
specify the drive number, which
drive will the Computer use? How can you
change this?
Congratulations.
You are now a bonafide
disk
sys-
tem operator.
You
should now have a
good
under-
standing of how
your disk system works
and
how
to take full
advantage
of it.
